Template:General Rules
This is the most important section, everything in this section takes priority over anything you do.
At minimum, it is suggested to read these at least, in-case you plan on avoiding the rest.
0 - Usage of slurs
The usage of slurs, spreading of hate speech or bigotry is not accepted here, we are an open community to everyone, as such using slurs in public places within the server will get you in trouble.
What you do in a private, secluded area between consenting parties using anti-ghost subtler is okay, but usage outside of that is prohibited.
1 - Malice
Interacting with another player with the intent to harm their experience on our server and make their overall experience here worse, this includes using non-direct methods. If you are engaging in activities to put down another player you are likely violating this rule.
This is an adult server, we expect you to behave as one, be able to reason and talk out your issues with other players and staff.
2 - Impact
Activities that impact the server or player base in a negative way, you are allowed to roleplay within reason, but if your actions start to impact the server or its players in a negative way instead of improving it, then you may be violating this rule.
Most cases can be solved through IC actions or through the use of L/OOC with the offending player if they are ruining your experience, if communicating fails, contact staff. On this server you are allowed to roleplay in a vast range and most things are allowed so long as they do not prove to be a detriment, avoid ruining the experience for everyone else.
3 - Safety
This is an 18+ server, you are expected to be an adult, any content that could be interpreted as violating the law or harmful towards the server is not to be discussed.
If you are found to be underage, you will be removed from the community, if staff have evidence to suspect you may be underage, an age-vet ban will be applied to your account till you can prove you are of age.
Interactions with non-human (quadruped, feral or otherwise fantasy creatures) characters and mobs are fine, so long as the mobs do not resemble a real life animal and are distinct enough of such. (Ian bad, but fun claws ok.)
